The Trumpeter 05750 kit recreates the French battleship Richelieu as refitted in 1943, including its upgraded radar systems and enhanced anti-aircraft armament. Built at 1/700 scale, this model captures the ship's wartime alterations and provides a hands-on build for naval modellers and history collectors.
Commissioned in 1939, Richelieu saw active service through varied theatres and underwent a significant refit in the United States where 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikons were added to improve air defence. The kit reproduces these wartime changes, offering a detailed assembly experience that highlights the ship's engineering and operational history.
